PinkPrincess and Miametro please need to edit your posts to take out the fees and client names

I did not quote the fee, only that i spent £x more than the reimbursement:D

really?! how rude. I must admit, I've not been massively impressed with them so far, the website seems REALLY rubbish.

Why is it rude ?
They make an offer of work and reward-you choose if you accept it or not. No-one is focing you to take the job :rotfl::rotfl:

PP - PL means that you quoted the other poster, which contains the details!

I just think if they're going to offer you a job, they should be clear and up front with how much it will cost you in outlay first of all, which they've not been, the listing doesn't state how much the menu items are. it feels a little like they're trying not to be up front about it, that's all.

all my other experience of MS has resulted in me making money(albeit sometimes not much), I've never lost money before! lol.

Well, a few monetary losses could be useful to reduce your tax bill each year...

We all need the odd loss job for tax purposes-so what's your point ?

But cash loss jobs are absolutely, completely pointless, if you're in the business to make money - which coupled with the fact that that client's pizza is pretty awful anyway, does not make for a great sounding job!

If you enjoy that pizza and are not in it to make money then great...

Just a bit of a heads up really. There has been a certain wave of jobs this weekend for Assosia which was marked as Private and Confidential. I recieved an e-mail this morning asking people to be extra careful as they had been made aware that some people had been discussing the jobs on open forums such as MoneySavingExpert. It was a polite enough e-mail but I think we need to make sure that we are extra careful when it comes to Assosia.

And the other companies to be fair. Confidentiality underpins the very business of mystery shopping.
